Abstract (en)
Game sounds produced by a video game machine are classified into those emitted from left and right speaker units of a television receiver and those emitted from a head set worn by a player. The emission of the individual game sounds from the speaker units or a sound emissive portion of the head set is controlled in correspondence with game screens or scenes. This allows the player to enjoy the video game while hearing footsteps or whispering from a leading character closely from the head set, and hearing explosive sound or shouts of enemy characters distantly from the speaker units. <IMAGE>
